“Survivors” marks the first label release by dance producer and keyboardist OBLVYN.
Airy, uplifting dance-pop production showcases her signature style alongside powerful and triumphant vocals from singer-songwriter April Bender. The release comes amidst OBLVYN’s packed schedule of support shows for Seven Lions’ album tour with 17 dates including three shows at the Brooklyn Mirage the weekend before release.
OBLVYN is Catherine Bliemel, music producer and electronic artist from Edmonton, Canada. OBLVYN’s musical journey began at the age 5 with training in classical piano, later on becoming a guitarist in a pop punk band, and finishing post-secondary with a degree in jazz and pop music. After years of experimenting in different styles of music, OBLVYN has settled on future bass as her primary genre but often steps out of those bounds to create a sound that is unique to her individuality as an artist. With the use of keyboard performance, melodic soundscapes, colorful synths, and accents of cute timbres, her sound can be described as youthful, aggressive, and emotionally captivating.
Influenced by artists such as Zedd, Virtual Riot, Seven Lions, Au5, Haywyre, and taking inspiration from the wonders of the universe, nature’s beauty, and the human experience, OBLVYN invites listeners on an adventure that anyone can find themselves immersed in.
